In Manor Park (E12) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 4,697 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 42% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most E12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Manor Park substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in E12, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 23% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

On access, romford Road red route, narrow side streets and permit bays near the station — one reason four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight. Fitters travelling in use Manor Park (Elizabeth line).
